S11E02 The Plane That Flew Too High (West Caribbean Airways Flight 708)
On August 16, 2005, West Caribbean Airways Flight 708 encounters a critical stall while flying at cruising altitude and tragically crashes in the Venezuelan countryside amidst a fierce thunderstorm. Subsequent investigations determined that the aircraft's engines were functioning properly. The crash was attributed to pilot error, as the crew misjudged the stall and failed to initiate recovery efforts until it was too late, leading to the devastating accident.
